But the awful truth promoted by the two hungry operatives is really the product of what Sinclair called “the Lie Factory.” By taking sentences out of context from Sinclair’s fiction and running them as ads in conservative media outlets like theand William Randolph Hearst’s papers, the two made the upright Sinclair sound like a flaming advocate of free love. They also used direct-mail hit pieces while creating the one-stop shop of political consultancy as a profession.
By contrast, Terry Hamilton’s Merriam is a red-faced blusterer straight out of a Preston Sturges comedy. He wants power for its own sake and isn’t particular about how to get it. However, even though it’s Meredith’s Baxter who comes up with the most effective attacks on Sinclair , Merriam worries that his victory will be seen as riding the skirts of a woman. He demands that Baxter make peace with Whitaker after the two fall out over the latter’s family friendship with Sinclair.
